Gas Station Manager Fired After Setting Price at 69 Cents

When word spread on social media that the price for gas was only 69 cents a gallon, people flocked to a Sacramento gas station to fill up. Now it turns out it was all one big mistake that cost the manager who set the price his job. John Szczecina says it was a simple error. The price of gas that day should have been $6.99 a gallon. Instead, Szczecina says he accidentally put the decimal in the wrong spot, making the price 69 cents a gallon.

@@bro6568 Sorry to hear about your estimate, please do get a second opinion. True story: I needed some brake works done. 1st place said $90. That sounded very reasonable, but as I had errands I decided to hold off. When I was ready, I went to another shop that closer to me and they wanted $900! So I called 1st place and asked if there were anything else wrong with my car, and they said "Nope." Then I asked why would this Brake Masters (they were both Brake Masters) be charging $900 for works? The nice man replied his Brake Masters was corporate, and the one I was at was probably private and was just riding on the reputation of Brake Masters and overcharging people. Needless to say I went with the 1st place, and they did stellar works for $90.

This has happened to me before where an attendant was one decimal too short and I was paying less than a dollar per gallon that day. I filled up on 5 dollars and still had change left over. I acted like I didn't notice when I saw how many gallons were being put into the tank vs the dollar amount I was getting to, It seemed super slow but in reality the gas was flowing. The man across from me figured it out shortly after me and began shouting in joy for how much he was paying per gallon. I'll never forget that day as I was a broke college kid commuting my way to class that day. I was so stoned out of my mind that I thought I was going to be in trouble for continuing to pump after the attendant told everyone to hang up their pumps and start over, but the opportunity was so great I couldn't resist. I remember peeling out of there before the cops were somehow going to be called and force me to pay the real amount I had pumped, the weed had me real paranoid lol. I only used 3 dollars and some change out of the 5 dollars I put on the pump and because of the paranoia, I chickened out of asking for the difference back, which they probably wouldn't have given anyways considering I had just pumped about 10 gallons in my tank. Luck usually never finds me but we had a pleasant encounter that day.
